An exciting find from South Africa: Budstone in A-quality!
Mineralogically, it is an approx. 3.2 billion year old green slate, a metamorphic rock. Fuchsite (chrome mica) and clinochlore have given the budstone its intense green color. Other minerals contained can be rutile, eskolaite, plagioclase and kaolinite.
Size of the Tumbled Stone in size XL (extralarge) approx. 3.0 - 6.0 cm.
Each Packing Unit of 0.5kg contains approx. 22 - 28 Tumbled Stones.
As a polished tumbled stone, budstone is reminiscent of a closed flower bud. In the trade, the stone is also misleadingly referred to as African jade.
Origin: Barberton, Mpumalanga (South Africa)
Due to its similar visual effect, budstone is often used as a substitute for Prase, which is now rarely available.
